Take care

Today has not been a good day for me. I suffer from Cluster headaches. I had one start yesterday and has not gone away. There is really nothing that I can take to stop them. I did get 21 min of walking in today. Have a good evening everyone.
Thank you Marilyn for starting this thread.1 -

I had a fun filled weekend! Went to a Biergarten at the neighborhood park and everyone was so friendly. I think people are happy to start getting out and the weather & music were perfect. Sunday was spent at a baseball game with my husband, daughter & grandson. Our team won!! ⚾
Wishing everyone a great day!!

morning all. Hope everyone is having a good start to your day. I am still suffering from cluster headaches. I have physical therapy this afternoon.Temps here in Idaho will be in the 100's where I live. Just staying in house where it is cooler.
Have a great and Blessed day1 -
Oh HIGHALPINE1 I hope that your cluster headaches are relieved soon for you. I used to get terrible migraines for the longest time and they started giving me botox of all things. It did help some and now at this stage, I don't get too many of them anymore. It is beautiful here in the Pacific Northwest this week. It is hot and getting hotter, but the days are like zerox - beautiful, green and lush. I hear that we are getting fires on this end of the country again. These wildfires are horrible and I hope that they don't spread the way that they did the past couple of years. I have to go run some errands with my grandson. I haven't had any coffee yet today and I am in need of caffeine. Have a lovely day no matter what you are doing. Take care and God bless, Deb

Thank you Deb. Today my head is not as bad as it has been. The temp here in Nampa Idaho at noon is82 in the shade, they say we will get to 97 for the high. We had a bad storm yesterday afternoon which cooled things down which was nice. Yes our fire danger is high out here and people need to be careful. Have a good day. God Bless1

Just checking in - am doing well, enjoy the very hot weather though it could be a bit cooler for my taste - also very concerned about wildfires - we had had to many of them so please be careful when out and about

highalpine1-I hope you feel better
kalyon8730- I am happy you have a great weekend
I am doing ok. I wish I could sleep it 3am and I not tired. Everyone have a great day.1 -
@candok1260 , I understand about not sleeping. I'm tired when I go to bed but I'm usually visiting with my dog about 2AM (she's great company & never complains about me waking her up). It's very frustrating!
Have a good day everyone 🐕💐

Not much to 'report' today - have caught up on all the messages - now time to get off the computer for a while - have a zoom meeting tonight0 -
glad everyone is doing as well as they can. I had PT this morning I really hate it as I hurt more after then when I started. I have to do it till I have my MRI on Tuesday to see what is wrong with my neck and spine.Still suffering from the cluster headache, but not as bad as when it started. I am hoping it gets better before Sat as I have a memorial for a close friend that just died a week a go. Very hot here in Idaho. Temps will be in the 100's for the next 13+ days.
Have a great evening everyone1 -
Hi, just checking in too. We are in the same heat wave as you highalpine. It will get to 115 today in Portland, Or. My grandson is here with me today due to the excessive heat. His mother had a heck of a time yesterday with fuses blowing and her a/c having to be readjusted to a different circuit. She didn't want the chance of it blowing today with Micah home, so she brought him over here. It is nice to have the company while we are stuck indoors. I've soaked my veggies, so they should fare okay in the heat. I hope that you all have a nice day and normal temperatures.1

I live in Canada - west coast - and it is hot here too - it is 10:35 and it is 90 F and high today should be 113 and tomorrow 115 = to hot = poor central air is working overtime - we do not let it run for long as we are concerned it could just decide not to work - and we need to keep it going for the rest of this horrendous heat that they predict will be for the rest of summer
Putting together numerous meals using the meals for breakfast, meals for lunch, meals for dinner that we can do here on mfp - love that aspect as I can make numerous meals with different vegetable options and then just need to click on the one I want for any given day rather than having to look everything up. Love that feature
Well time to get up and move - and need to look at what I planned for lunch
-Marilyn0 -

I am going for a MRI this morning and then back home here. Right now it is 82 out and it is only 7:50am. we are going to get to 107 today. I am only running my AC as little as possible as they are saying we may have to have rolling black out if too much power is used. I wish I had not sold my generator. We used it when we lived up North to run the freezer, ref and computer and a couple of lights. It sure was worth it as my freezer is full of meats, ans fish. I think it is a good investment even if only once a year used. May think about one again.

Newfie here!
I just said goodbye to my one Spark Group I was involved in. Onward and upward.
It's been pleasantly warm here for past few days. I burned to a crisp on Sunday. The wind made it feel cooler than it actually was.
I have been lazy and eating garbage since I went on vacation June 18...time to smarten up, now and start eating healthy again.
I hope the heat wave breaks for you all on the east coast and in OR and ID. I worries about you up there.1 -

We here in Canada (west coast) are under a horrendous heat wave and a heat warning. 3 days ago the city I live in broke a record for heat going back to 1896. It is now 9:10 a and it is 86 F (31 C) and they show that we will be hitting a high of 115 F by 12 noon - woke up this morning at 7 am to find that the inside of the house was at 29 C (pretty much 90 F) - to hot for first thing in the morning. Praying that our central air will hold up with all the heat of having to have it on - have ordered 2 more portable air conditioners and we do have 4 standing fans going but it is still very hot. the portable air conditioners are not due to arrive till July 19 - though we have been told they have now been shipped - praying that the will arrive sooner than the 19th
Am prepared for July - lots of menus made up and saved here on the food tracker under the given meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) This is an option that I love - now rather than having to search each day I just click on the meal I am making for the day - cuts down time later though has taken a bit more time now to make them up.
Am putting together a group for walking - when I have it ready I will make it public but if you are interested in walking and keeping a track of your daily miles showing city to city how far you have gone it might be a group for you - let me know if interested so that I can make sure you get an invite when it is ready. We will be walking across Canada.
Well, time to get up and walk around the house using my pedometer. Do this now before it gets even hotter
-Marilyn1 -
highalpine -good luck on your MRI today I will pray for you.
steffy118- you can do this. Just take it 1 day at time.
Marilynsretired- I pray your heat go away

Just checking in - we have had such horrendously hot weather and on July 1 the worst storm ever. Fires broke out all around us - and one small town here in British Columbia Canada (west coast) has burn down completely killing some families - so upset that this town is now no longer. Then on at 10 pm on the 1st a storm hit our city. In 73 years have never lived through one like this. 15 fires were started all around the city. One subdivision which has about 500 homes was given 5 minutes to evacuate at 10 pm - our daughter and her family were one - they have been able to return but are on fire watch - we went for a ride last night and it is devastating to see all the damage - but there is still a lot of trees that could go up. So we are also living right now with a container packed and by the door holding important papers that we would want to take in case of an emergency.
28 Day of logging on here at mfp and am so enjoying this website - each day I am loving it more and all the features it has - especially the food tracker - finding it so much better than SP though I thought that one good but this one has so things that are much better such as being able to put meals into the categories of breakfast lunch or dinner and also when you click onto breakfast, add a food it brings up all the food you have recorded for previous breakfasts so easy to just click rather than having to re search for them.
Anyway, though it is still early am tired - lots of back pain right now so need to take some time to do my oils and to take a nap to see if the pain will subside some.

Marilyn sorry to hear about the fires. Will be praying. We are still in our heat wave of over 100 degrees.
Had a good day today even though I am not feeling good. Got out real early and got 1/2 my back yard mowed, did manage to walk 1.20 miles total 77 min. Got the MRI results on my web site today. not good by no means. I see the DR on Tuesday and he will go over them with me. I am not going to worrie about them. Have a good 4th everyone1
